According to this post title at The Other McCain, Gov. Palin has turned down the invitation that CNN had extended to her to participate in the debate being sponsored tonight by the network and Tea Party Express. We had gathered as much when no news came over the weekend that she had accepted the invitation, and Greta Van Susteren announced that Sarah Palin would be a guest on her "On The Record" program tonight.
If she had accepted the CNN invitation to debate, it would have likely been a violation of her contract with Fox News, a job the governor doesn't appear quite ready to give up -- at least not just yet.
Stacy also reports the results of CNN's latest GOP presidential poll, which has Gov. Palin in third place with 15 percent, behind Ranger Rick with 30 percent and Mitt Romney with 18 percent.

It's actually funny. I think it was on Saturday that I saw some story about Mitt where he was repeating her lines about "crony capitalism" as if it were a flash of personal insight he'd just had. I had to just shake my head.
Don't tell that to the doubters. They might spontaneously combust if they grasp the simple logic of it.
Of all the hypocritical statements in the whole, wide world coming from a crony capitalist...LOL.
Politics as usual is an Aesop’s Fable live and in technicolor writ large across the landscape.
When Sarah made her Indianola speech, I predicted that all of the 1st tier candidates would begin to parrot the bullet points of that speech. There's no way for them to avoid it, unless they want to be as courageous as she is, and boldly state the truth without fear of consequences, as she does.
This is how she advances the debate in America, and she's been doing it ever since Bozo was elected. It's what separates her from the pack, and is why they all follow her.
I agree. I was just posting the “consensus.” I have believed she was IN since she resigned. Whenever I read about how excited the Lamestream media gets when she wiggles a finger, I laugh. Check my posting history and see how often I have mentioned Sarah and Sun Tzu in the same sentence. LOL!
Why would Sarah participate in a debate for Presidential candidates?
She hasn’t yet declared.
She is playing the chess master with a bunch of checkers players, Chinese checkers if you count Huntsman.
Her right between the eyes shootdown of Rick Perry on the vaccine issue when she appeared with Greta was something better done as a commentator.
I take it as a sign she is running that she went after Perry.
Again, IMHO the winners of the debate are unelectable: Newt, Santorum & Herman Cain. There is a wide open space for Sarah.
If Sarah declares and runs, it is Fox who will be the terminating party. It is a conflict of interest for Fox to employ a presidential candidate as a commentator.
Someone who is “running” is a declared candidate.
She isn’t running as of yet.
Touché!
And all the other candidates and the LSM have adopted “ corporate crony capitalism” into their lingo.
Sarah is setting the agenda & the terms if the dialogue.
Of course, we can’t know what’s in her heart & thoughts about running until she makes it public. Until then, she is already doing the Nation a great service by leading and shaping the message to take down Obama on election day 2012.
No kidding good lord the far reaching rationalizations here
I take it as a sign she is running that she went after Perry.
After hearing the clip this morning, I think that's pretty clear. She even went to great lengths to compare how she reacted to Perry's Gardasil mandate while she was Governor of Alaska, saying that it wouldn't have been done that way in Alaska on her watch.
When she gave the Indianola speech and began talking about crony capitalism, I sensed that she was subtly pointing at Perry. Last night, she did so explicitly.
